Answer:

x=2.5 or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)

We will use the factors 4 and 5.

=(2x-5)(x+4)=0

2x-5=0   || x+4=0

2x=+5      || x=-4

x=2.5  or x=-4

Answer:

x = 5/2, -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x - 20            

NOTE:  2 * -20 = -40 so we need 2 numbers whose product is - 40 and whose sum is + 3.  These are + 8 and -5, so we write

= 2x^2 + 8x - 5x - 20     Factor by grouping:

= 2x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4)

= (2x - 5)(x + 4)

so x = 5/2, -4 are the roots.

A sales agent makes 40 calls a day. About 15% he calls result in a sale. How many days
Tems11 [23]

Answer: 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sale agent makes 40 calls a day and about 15% he calls result in a sale. This means the number of sales will be:

= 15% × 40

= 0.15 × 40

= 6

6 sales out of every 40 calls per day.

The number of calls to make 120 sales will be:

= 15% of x = 120

0.15 × x = 120

0.15x = 120

x = 120/0.15

x = 800 calls

Since he needs 800 calls and he makes 40 calls per day, the number of days needed will be:

= 800/40

= 20 days

29.2=36.2+n<br> what is the answer to this question
babymother [125]

Answer:

\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{\longrightarrow N=-7}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate by the n on one side of the equation.

First, switch sides.

n+36.2=29.2

Then, subtract 36.2 from both sides.

n+36.2-36.2=29.2-36.2

Solve.

36.2-29.2=-7

<u>n=-7</u>

<u></u>

The correct answer is n=-7.

The perimeter of the triangle will be 41ft

<h3>The perimeter of a triangle</h3>

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides of the triangle

From the given triangle, we need to get the third sidee firse as shown:

h² = 12² + 12²

h² = 144 + 144

h² = 288

h = 17ft

Perimeter = 12 + 12 + 17

Perimeter = 41ft

Hence the perimeter of the triangle will be 41ft
